When you dance, I can really love…. and for those of us who love dancing it was a real LoveFest last night, dancing at the second annual (putting my wish in now) Neil Young Tribute Concert for Climate to benefit SustainFloyd, our local grassroots environmental group.

Like last year, a host of friends played on the Dogtown Roadhouse stage under the names “Buffalo Springfloyd” (a twist on Young’s early band, Buffalo Springfield) and “Lazy Horse” (a take-off on his later band, Crazy Horse).

This is the only clip I managed to get because I was too busy dancing!

It was a Gold Rush of music for a good cause and fitting that it was Neil Young’s music, him being one of our longest-standing musician activists of social justice and environmental issues.

When you dance, do your senses tingle, then take a chance, in a trance, while the lonely mingle with circumstance?

About

From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia I write to synthesize what I'm learning at the time, whether it be poetry, a political commentary, or a letter to my family in Hull, Massachusetts, where I'm originally from. Whenever I don't know exactly what it is I'm doing and it borders on wasting my time, I call it research. 'Dear Abby, How can I get rid of freckles?' was my first published piece at the age of 11.
